Letter of Transmittal

Regarding the Units in

Maxus Real Property Investors — Four, L.P.

Tendered Pursuant to the Offer to Purchase Dated July 12, 2005

THE OFFER WILL EXPIRE AT, AND THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE PARTNERSHIP BY, 12:00 MIDNIGHT EASTERN STANDARD TIME ON AUGUST 10, 2005 (THE “EXPIRATION DATE”), UNLESS EXTENDED.

I am a limited partner of Maxus Real Property Investors — Four, L.P (the “Partnership”) and hold ten (10) limited partnership units or less of the Partnership. I hereby tender all of my limited partnership units, as described and specified below, to the Partnership upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated July 12, 2005 (collectively, the “Offer to Purchase” and “Letter of Transmittal” constitute the “Offer”).

THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL IS SUBJECT TO ALL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE OFFER TO PURCHASE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE ABSOLUTE RIGHT OF THE PARTNERSHIP TO REJECT ANY AND ALL TENDERS DETERMINED BY IT, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, NOT TO BE IN THE APPROPRIATE FORM.

I hereby represent and warrant that I have full authority to sell my units to the Partnership, and that the Partnership will acquire good title, free and clear of any adverse claim. Upon request, I will execute and deliver any additional documents necessary to complete the sale of my units in accordance with the terms of the Offer. In the event of my death or incapacity, all authority and obligation shall be placed with my heirs, personal representatives and successors.

I hereby certify, under penalties of perjury, that (1) the Taxpayer Identification Number shown below on this Letter of Transmittal is correct and (2) I am not subject to backup withholding either because Seller has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) that Seller is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest on dividends, or the IRS has notified Seller that Seller is no longer subject to backup withholding.

I hereby also certify, under penalties of perjury, that I, if an individual, am not a nonresident alien for purposes of U.S. income taxation, and if not an individual, am not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations). I understand that this certification may be disclosed to the IRS by the Partnership and that any false statements contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.

I hereby appoint the Partnership (without posting of a bond) as my attorney-in-fact with respect to my units, with full power of substitution (such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with an interest), to: (1) transfer ownership of my units on the Partnership’s books to the Partnership, (2) change the address of record of my units prior

to or after completing the transfer, (3) execute and deliver lost certificate indemnities and all other transfer documents, (4) direct any custodian or trustee holding record title to the units to do what is necessary, including executing and delivering a copy of this Letter of Transmittal, and (5) upon payment by the Partnership of the purchase price, to receive all benefits and cash distributions and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of my units hereby tendered.
